Deciding Which Features to Enable on the Symantec Endpoint Protection client

When you deploy the client using the Client Deployment Wizard, you must choose the feature set. The feature set includes multiple protection components that are installed on the client. You can select a default feature set or select individual components. Decide which feature set to install based on the role of the computers, and the level of security or performance that the computers need.

Table: Recommended feature set by computer role lists the protection technologies you should install on client computers based on their role.
